Synopsis – Becky is trying to prove that her ex-husband John was a corrupted police officer with a record. As she tries to enlist the help of her former colleagues to finally bring justice and bring down John, Becky tries to maintain acquaintance with John’s new girlfriend Nina. As the story progresses with Becky’s life in potential danger, will Becky finally succeed in bringing justice and arresting John?
Good points – I actually like the premise of the story. Here you get a corrupted police officer and Becky was determined to bring justice. The story overall was well written. I was actually engrossed into the story as a result, wondering if Becky is finally able to bring justice and bring John down.
Bad points – The only thing I didn’t like about the book was the end–and it was also slightly repetitive which made reading the whole book slightly boring as a result. Otherwise, this book would have been a good thriller.
Overall verdict – This book has a premise–the story is over all well written although the repetitive words in certain areas made the book slightly boring to read The plot was great and overall, this was a great thriller book. Worth 4 stars in my opinion.
Many thanks to Netgalley and Avon for the book. The review is based on my honest opinion only.
After completing a psychology degree, Alice Hunter became an interventions facilitator in a prison. There, she was part of a team offering rehabilitation programmes to men serving sentences for a wide range of offences, often working with prisoners who’d committed serious violent crimes. Previously, Alice had been a nurse, working in the NHS. She now puts her experiences to good use in fiction. The Serial Killer’s Wife, The Serial Killer’s Daughter and The Serial Killer’s Sister all draw heavily on her knowledge of psychology and the criminal mind
